SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:12
Vinieron, pues, las nuevas a Sísara como Barac hijo de Abinoam había subido al monte de Tabor.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And they showed Sisera , etc.] Either some of the Canaanites that dwelt near Tabor, or some spies that Sisera had out; though some think the Kenites told him, who were at peace with Jabin, ( Judges 4:17); yet whether out of good will or ill will cannot be said: however, so it was ordered by the providence of God, that by some means or another Sisera should be informed that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to Mount Tabor ; and no doubt at the same time he was told the number of men that went with him; from whence he might well conclude, that such a warlike man, with such a force collected together, and having posted himself in an high and strong mountain, must have some design to cause a revolt of Israel from Jabin his prince.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-16 - Siser's confidence was chiefly in his chariots. But if we have groun to hope that God goes before us, we may go on with courage an cheerfulness. Be not dismayed at the difficulties thou meetest with it resisting Satan, in serving God, or suffering for him; for is not the Lord gone before thee? Follow him then fully. Barak went down, thoug upon the plain the iron chariots would have advantage against him: he quitted the mountain in dependence on the Divine power; for in the Lor alone is the salvation of his people, Jer 3:23. He was not deceived in his confidence. When God goes before us in our spiritual conflicts, we must bestir ourselves; and when, by his grace, he gives us some succes against the enemies of our souls, we must improve it by watchfulnes and resolution.
